Tool/File Holder

Personal Project (Fall 21)

This was a quick and fun project. I had recently bought a 3D printer and bought a set of small files to help clean up imperfections on the prints. Unfortunately the files did not come with a holder or bag so I decided this would be a good opportunity to design something to hold my new files. They say that if you have a hammer everything looks like a nail… well if you have a 3D printer any inconvenience is an opportunity for a project!

The inspiration for this project was the T-Virus Vial from Resident Evil. I thought the shape of the vial looked cool for the project and the cut outs on the side of the main body let me see what type of file was in each spot without needed to take it out. The files have a rubberized grip and pressure fit into the black caps on the holder.
